In 1975, on the black soil of Northeast China, college student Zhang Mingyue transmigrated into the body of an invisible educated youth, bound to a "quiz system": answering history and agriculture questions correctly earns her supplies! She's quick-witted, readily retaliating against provocations, and forms a "troublemaking duo" with her "simple-minded" second sister, enjoying both the drama and the gossip. The male lead is a seemingly serious but actually delusional educated youth who interprets every question from the female lead as a cheesy pickup line. With its quiz system, everyday educated youth life, and easy comebacks, it's incredibly addictive!
